I've been slowing down lately. Ugh, life things.
6 months ago
Hello again, everyone!
I've made a realization
My first year writing stories, then opening for comms, I was riding a wave. A tidal wave even. I found a new hobby and I was living it! I still enjoy my writing, trust me, I'm not going anywhere.
However, with my job recently picking up, and family responsibilities, I haven't had nearly as much time as I would like. On days when I come home from my closing shift, and I have, like 2 hours before I have to go to bed, I just get the tablet out and draw something instead. That's what happens when you have two hobbies and a job, I suppose.
That being said, though. I'm not burning out, don't worry, but for my own sake, I'm slowing down a bit. I'm still writing, but I'm not working at the usual breakneck pace I was working at before. I realize now that that was borderline unhealthy for me. I still plan on taking comms and creating stuff, otherwise I have 0 hobbies! But don't expect me to be working as fast as before. Especially since summer is coming up and that's the busy season for my job.
Also, for comms, I'm still gonna keep my comm slots relegated to my discord members. I have a small list of people to ask if I need to fill a slot for any reason, but otherwise, I think this is the safer way of enjoying my hobby. No risk of some weirdo getting a story from me, and pulling their payment a day later from Paypal.
If you're interested, feel free to find that link to my discord on my homepage. I'm fairly active with you all and do several interactive things.
-Discord/FA banner giveaways
-Writing challenges with prizes
-Including members in projects
-Other various things to include my fans and friends
All in all, thanks for liking my stories and my developing art projects. Hope to see some of you in the discord.
